HELLO FRIENDS. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU GUYS SO I'VE POSTED AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK. ENJOY!

Oddily
was full of anticipation as she waited in the meadow for her surprise. She
didn't wait long because Maxim soon appeared on a white horse.

At
first, Oddily backed away, fearing the size of the animal. However, once Maxim joined
her, she put on a brave face and stepped forward until she was beside the
glorious beast.

"I
want you to meet Wind Chaser," he smiled patting the horse.

"Hi…Wind
Chaser." Oddily waved at it, but then felt silly." May I touch
her?"

Maxim
dismounted, and then held Wind Chaser by her mane." Listen to me, baby.
Using slow strokes, I want you to gently rub her muzzle, okay?"

"You
mean her nose?" she asked.

"Yes…her
nose."

Oddily
extended her arm, and when the horse remained calm, she touched the area Maxim
had indicated and began to stroke Wind Chaser.

"Wow,
you are so beautiful!" She spoke to the beast.

When
Maxim saw the look of fascination on Oddily's face, he couldn't help but
laugh." I take it you’re pleased with my surprise."

"Yes…
Very!"

"Would
you like to ride with me?" He asked sheepishly.

Oddily’s
eyes widened. "You want us to
ride the horse…together?"

Maxim's
face spread into in enraptured, gleaming smile as his flashing blue eyes looked
into hers. Both humor and passion were in his face as he mimicked her startled
look.

"Please
say you will!"

Maxim
was startled when Oddily reached up and kissed him quickly and firmly on the
mouth.

"Okay,"
she grinned.

After
Maxim remounted Wind Chaser, he used his unusual strength to scoop Oddily up on
the horse with him, settling her carefully between his legs.

"Lean
back against me and enjoy the ride."

Lean back and relax?Sure. Oddily sat stiff and unyielding
when the horse began to walk through the meadow. Maxim was holding her
securely, but a shiver of apprehension went through her. There was nothing to
fear, she assured herself. She was in Maxim's care, who was protective, kind,
and all that was knightly.

Slowly,
tentatively, she leaned back against Maxim’s chest and forced herself to relax until
he urged the horse into a trot.

Oddily
should have enjoyed the landscape and the feel of the horse beneath her, but
she was distracted be the change in the horse’s gait. Her awareness turned
solely on Maxim, his body pressing against hers. A jolt flashed through her by
his closeness. They were tightly pressed together and every movement of the
horse jarred them even closer causing her to squirm a bit.

Maxim
too, became sensitive to more than the luscious landscape. He could feel Oddily’s
small back pressing against him, her thighs molding to his, and the scent of
her hair so fresh and clean. Her closeness was causing his body to react and it
was a reaction he had no control over.

Finally,
he could stand it no longer. He was forced to stop the horse and jump off.

Oddily’s
body stiffened more after his sudden dismount. Did I do something wrong? She wondered.

"I…I
have a cramp in my leg." His voice was strained as he fumbled for an
excuse. Look how you've encouraged me,
is what he wanted to say; knowing his desire for her was ridiculously evident. But
Oddily wasn’t paying attention to what was below his waist. Instead, her mind seemed
to be somewhere else. Then without warning, a strange light came into her eyes
and she grabbed hold of the horse's mane moments before the horse took off in a
full gallop.

"Oddily!"
Maxim became panic stricken. However, there was no need. Apparently, she had
full control over the horse, and her long red hair flowing in the wind was a
spectacle to be remembered.
